Viper help
Posted: Jul 09, 2015 6:45 am
Hey guys!
Hope everyone's enjoying their summer, out on their boats and such...
Anyways, I've got my viper, lower end was just rebuilt, and motor was looked at, so I'm not worried about that
BUT, after the motor work, I took the jackplate taken off, it was a 6 inch, and I was told for a viper that's too much.
So I went to drive the boat, and the engine is running better then ever, but my setup is wrong.
My top speed has dropped,
More of the boat is in the water then before, even trimmed up.
My top speed used to be 55mph ( but it chine walked)
I put the fin on it = 48mph
Removed jack plate =44mph
So what I'm asking from you experts!
What is it I need to do to get my viper rippin better than ever! But still drivable( without chine walk, porposing)
Because I know it should/can go faster
Prop is a 23p
Motor is a 115hp mercruiser
I'm guessing jackplate, other things could help me.
Please, any info is helpful, I've been struggling getting this boat setup for a while now, and getting somewhat frustrated.
